Caution: highly addictive. You can look up the town you grew up in, the block you live on now, every place you ever visited in New England, which towns went most heavily for Clinton on Cape Cod, the vast redness that is West Va, how Calif. is so unique etc https://t.co/jbmdh7Ve4i

the conversation continued and quite interestingly as we have a victimized minority identity group that was a new one on me: citizens of Wyoming:

You're flat-out saying that Wyoming doesn't deserve to have an equal voice at the state level because it has a smaller population than California. If that doesn't mean you think California deserves to rule over Wyoming, can you please explain what it does mean?

But ya know, that got me thinking about: majority rule. On all kinds of levels.

One has to admit that the overwhelming redness of the map is quite shocking. And when I zoomed in on certain neighborhoods around the country that I know well enough, I was always kind of shocked where I found quilt-like patchworks of blue vs. red, especially in suburban areas.
